How to set up iCloud email, contacts & calendar on a BlackBerry Z10 smartphone

If you use iCloud for email, contacts and calendar access, follow the steps below to add these services to your BlackBerry Z10. Once you have iCloud set up on your Z10 you can send and receive email as well as synchronize your contacts and calendar wirelessly.

Adding an iCloud account to a BlackBerry Z10

From the Home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen

Select Settings > Accounts

If this is the first email or social networking account you are setting up, select Email, Contacts or Calendar

If you have other email or social networking accounts set up already, select Add Account, then select the type of account you want to add.

If you are unable to add your account using the steps above, follow the steps below to integrate your email address, contacts and/or calendar stored in iCloud.com onto your smartphone.

If you use iCloud synchronization but do not use an @icloud.com email address, or email is not enabled, the calendar and contact synchronization can still be set up on a BlackBerry 10 smartphone. To integrate these services you need to follow the advanced integration steps listed below and ensure you are using the email address associated with your Apple ID.

Note: If either an @me.com or @mac.com email address are being used, integrate as an @icloud.com address (i.e. Instead of using user01@me.com, use user01@icloud.com). Apple has aliased @me.com and @mac.com email addresses so they will still receive emails, but any outgoing email will appear as the @icloud.com domain.
